I've been perusing all the layout templates and whatnots on here, but can't really seem to find anything I really love. Then there's the issue of theme... I want something where I can use my TuttiFrutti colors from my Etsy shop, but I don't want to leave the VanessaMichelle shop unloved and out of the loop. I think I'll need to make my own background in Photoshop or whatever and just do everything myself. Also I don't feel like my current layout takes up a lot of space width-wise. I feel like it should take up the entire page...

Anyways, I'm really excited about all the handspun yarn I've been doing! Someone I know just told me about a hole in the wall yarn and weaving shop I've never known about really, really close to where I live. She knows the owner and says they might be interested in selling my yarn in their shop. I just don't really have a lot of yarn... the majority of what I've spun is up on Etsy and I can't afford to buy any more wool until I sell some stuff. It's just a vicious loop, but I'll have to go to this little shop and at least check it out.

Here is some of my favorite yarns I've done so far... I absolutely love getting crazy batts and scrappy batts with all sorts of different things in them. I would love to have a carder to I can make them myself and save money, but until then I'm happy supporting other Etsians!

I'm moving all the jewelry from vanessamichelle to tuttifrutti. TFD will be for jewelry and a few homeware items, and VM will be all handspun and hand dyed yarn, vintage supplies, destash items, felted items, sewn pouches (still working on these) knit items and feathered hair accessories.

And of course I always take custom orders!

I would like to start reviewing other Etsy sites that I love, possibly one a week. Hopefully I can get on this soon and do more on Etsy and with my blog in between all of my homework and my THREE fashion shows that I'm currently preparing for (phew!)
